Online Therapy Services for South African Expats

Corne Peach, Clinical Psychologist, is now offering online therapy for South African patients based overseas.

This service has grown in popularity since I started offering online consultations during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many expat South Africans have enquired about online sessions, and I now see patients from all over the world. Many prefer a South African psychologist who understands their culture, background, and the typical challenges faced when immigrating to another country.

To all South Africans living overseas, a warm welcome to my website. With all the advances in technology, you can now see a South African psychologist in the comfort of your home and in your native language. Although I myself still live in South Africa, I am in touch with the reasons, challenges, excitement, but also homesickness that comes with a move overseas. I already see a lot of South Africans from all over the world online and although everyone’s story or problem or reason for seeing a psychologist is unique, there are also universal themes of what people go through when they leave their country of birth. Some also come to see me at the practice for sessions when they come to visit South Africa. For others, the problem is not necessarily the immigration process, but they simply want to talk to someone from their own culture and in their own language.

Confidentiality and Security:

Your privacy and confidentiality are paramount. All online sessions are conducted using secure, encrypted platforms to ensure your personal information remains confidential.

All data shared during sessions is protected, and I adhere to strict confidentiality guidelines in line with professional psychological standards.
